I’ve almost found the kitchen. The children are clean, dressed and fed. I’ve got washing in the machine. I’ve rearranged my blog template to put the ring code in an easily accessible place for all (thought I really ought to do that myself before requiring everyone else on the ring does it!)
I’m not doing much educationally for the offspring, but I discovered Big playing with duplo and making shapes earlier, so I think that ought to count. And she is fascinated by the seasons at the moment, so I think I’ll do a poster with her this afternoon. And we ought to finish that first Jolly Phonics book and maybe even finally do the chocolate crunch cakes, which would make it a very productive day at home.
I’ve also got incoming post to deal with, postcards to write for feminists, clothes to post and I’d really like it if we went out and bought a mattress (apologies for the dire link there, but mattresses don’t seem to excite web designers 😉 ). I’m putting all of this here in an attempt to shame myself into doing it!

Hmm, I think requiring blogring code to be at the top of pages is an extremely good idea. Don’t suppose everyone will do it before the grand race next Thursday though, eh?!!
When we bought the girls’ mattresses the other day we ended up looking at grown up ones too, because our removal people admitted to having wrecked ours when they took it up the spiral staircase (unsurprisingly). We haven’t noticed, particularly, so we’re not replacing it yet, but anyway, the reason for all this waffle, is that they were really recommending these new ‘unsprung’ mattresses – I think latex is one of the main components … anyway, hope whichever new mattress you go for helps with the dodgy back situation (I’m assuming that’s one of the reasons you might want one!).
Sounds like a very productive day anyway 🙂
Yeah, my mum was talking about those kind of mattresses recently, they sound intriguing, and very good if the blurb is to be believed. I’ll ask her where she was looking.
(She’s after a new one, because the people they bought their (extremely expensive) bed from about 15 years ago were being all arsey about selling her a mattress alone – they were insisting that she must need new divans as well (their bed is like 2 single divans joined together with one kingsize mattress on top).)
We went up to the Coop a while back and tried out a load of beds – we didn’t like the complete memory foam thing, too squishy. But the one I linked to is part and part – has a sprung bit and then a layer of “memory foam” on top. We’ve bitten the bullet and ordered it now!
Those “designed for outer space” mattresses look so weird. What i want is a bed that has a removable bump hole in the middle so i can lie on my front.
